Pollack’s One: Number 31 at the NYC MOMA. Walk slowly toward it; then backward. The energy embodied within it’s frame is amazing. “Energy is Eternal Delight”, said Blake. He was so right!

Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. Proto-cubists. The women are eery, captivating. They draw you in like Greek sirens, holding you and holding and holding. Also at the MOMA.

Matisse, La Musique. 2 women sitting in a comfortable garden, one playing guitar. Sheet music on the floor. Colors, composition make it a masterpiece.

Some might say it’s dorm room art. But what can I say?, it’s great art!
